Description: Historic Philadelphia has long yielded archaeological treasures from its past. Excavations required by the National Historic Preservation Act have recovered pottery shards, pots, plates, coins, bones, and other artifacts relating to early life in the city. This updated edition ofDigging in the City of Brotherly Lovecontinues to use archaeology to learn about and understand people from the past. Rebecca Yamin adds three new chapters that showcase several major discoveries from recent finds including unmarked early eighteenth-century burial grounds, one of which associated with the first African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church, in the oldest part of the city; a nineteenth-century working-class neighborhood built along the path of what is now Route I-95 and was once home to Native American life; and the remains of two taverns found on the site of the current Museum of the American Revolution. Yamin describes the research and state-of-the-art techniques used to study these exciting discoveries. In chronicling the value of looking into a citys past,Digging in the City of Brotherly Lovebrings to life the people who lived in the early city and the people in the present who study them.
